This is caused by use of the %ghost directive in the %files
section of the .spec file:

    %files -n dpm-copy-server-mysql
    %{_libdir}/dpm-mysql/dpmcopyd
    %ghost %{_sbindir}/dpmcopyd
    %doc %{_libdir}/dpm-mysql/dpmcopyd.8*
    %ghost %{_mandir}/man8/dpmcopyd.8*

Apparently %ghost marks those files as belonging to the package but
doesn't include them in the package. Thus, they aren't part of the cpio
archive. Common use-case for this seems to be log-files - such that they
are removed on package removal.

Anyhow, those lines look like a bug to me:

    %doc %{_libdir}/dpm-mysql/dpmcopyd.8*
    %ghost %{_mandir}/man8/dpmcopyd.8*

And the other question now is: Should `dnf provides` include ghost files
in its output?

I mean, the package really doesn't provide those ghost files ...

Georg
